Lord Gisborough moved Amendment No. 40:
After Clause 11, insert the following new clause--
(" .--(1) The Secretary of State shall, in accordance with a scheme made by him, make payments to persons who suffer any loss in the value of a business owned or operated by them on 16th October 1996 which is directly attributable to the prohibition introduced by section 1 above.
(2) Any scheme made by the Secretary of State in accordance with subsection (1) shall provide for payments to be made on the basis of the difference in value of the business on 1st January 1996 and on the date of the passing of this Act calculated on the prescribed standard by a qualified person.
(3) For the purposes of this section--
"prescribed standard" means calculation of the capitalisation of the estimated future profits which will be foregone by a business as a consequence of the prohibition introduced by section 1 based upon an economic loss analysis of the audited financial statements of the business for the three financial years before the passing of this Act; and
"qualified person" means a person eligible for appointment as a company auditor in accordance with section 25 of the Companies Act 1989.").
The noble Lord said: I should like to move this amendment. It can be tidied up at a later stage with regard to whether it should be full compensation or fair compensation. I commend the amendment to the House.
